Chapter 1428 The Treasure Appraisal Streamer Sets a Scam 28
However, no matter how many problems there are, we have to start working.
"First, look for clues, especially those written records in books. Be careful during the operation, and don't touch these coffins for now..."
Experienced archaeologists began to operate in multiple locations throughout the area.
But they weren't too far apart, so at least they could support each other if something happened.
As for those coffins...
There are too many coffins in this city; touching one could easily cause it to rise from the dead. If they all did, they wouldn't be able to escape.
They were directly "locked up and beaten" or "caught like a turtle in a jar".
Shu Jiao followed the crowd with a casual demeanor. She was assigned to Chi Yu's group and headed straight for the study of a mansion.
But unfortunately.
It was completely empty inside.
Aside from the tables, chairs, and benches, there were only a few swaying calligraphy brushes hanging on the shelf, mocking the incompetent intruder.
Shu Jiao followed the route and rushed to the treasure vault.
She has extremely high standards; she won't accept anyone who isn't top-notch.
In comparison, Yan Sui's group was much less picky.
Keep the valuables safe. You can leave them behind if you can't take them with you. But if you go out and don't bring back anything of sufficient value, you'll lose a lot of money on this trip!
As for studying history and culture...
hmm~
That's the archaeological team's business.
From the very beginning, they were after antiques.
That's good, everyone's busy with their own things.
"Crack...knock..."
Suddenly, countless faint sounds emanated from each coffin.
Then, the coffin began to shake violently without warning.
The noise was so loud that anyone should have heard it.
Shu Jiao casually tossed the porcelain she had just chosen into her spatial storage, then went outside to look for Chi Yu. Chi Yu had also left the house and, following the sound, found herself in a large hall.
The place where the coffins are placed.
The mansion they entered had five coffins displayed in the main hall.
The wood used for the coffin appears quite ordinary, being black on the surface. However, upon closer inspection, one can discern faint purple wood grain within the wood. When the light is blocked by hand, one can see that the faint purple wood grain is glowing.
On top of the coffin was a square box made of the same type of wood.
"Boom!"
The sound kept coming from the coffin.
Finally, with a creak, a withered arm pushed open the coffin lid.
With a "whoosh".
A mummified corpse sat up.
No.
More than one.
The mummified corpses in all five coffins sat up, including the one in the smallest coffin. The skull of the mummified corpse that rose up looked like that of a five- or six-year-old child.
what--!
A group of people wanted to scream, but they kept their mouths shut, not daring to disturb these things.
They wanted to leave.
Taking two steps back, I saw Shu Jiao standing next to Chi Yu with great interest. Suddenly, my legs felt strong, my back didn't ache, and I became bolder.
Just two words——
Peace of mind.
At this moment, Shu Jiao was staring at the piece of wood, touching her chin, "San'er, why does this piece of wood look a little familiar to me?"
It feels like I've seen it somewhere before.
"Purple cocoon wood".
003 warned, "You almost used this thing as a coffin."
"Tsk~"
Shu Jiao stared at the mummified corpses with some disgust. "If I used it, would it cause this too?"
"It's hard to say."
003 should.
As the one person spoke, the mummies seemed not to receive the signal, sitting there blankly.
They did not appear to have any intention of attacking people.
After a long while, he mechanically reached out and opened the square box on the coffin lid.
Shu Jiao seemed to remember something and had a bad feeling, so she pulled Chi Yu back two steps.
Chi Yu was puzzled. "What's wrong?"
"Cover your nose, it might smell a bit."
Shu Jiao said.
Chi Yu didn't understand, but she obeyed and immediately covered her mouth and nose.
The team members behind took a look:
There must be a reason why a big shot does this.
So he immediately covered his mouth and nose as well.
really.
When the box was opened, a suffocating stench, like rotten meat infested with maggots, or like stinky tofu and moldy soybeans dug up after being buried in the ground and fermenting for eight hundred years, was released. It was a stench that was incredibly varied and unpleasant to smell.
Ok.
There were at least five different kinds of stench attacking everyone's noses, making their eyes red and tears involuntarily streaming down their faces.
Of course, that's not important.
More importantly, those mummies... were eating!
With his withered, dry hands, he grabbed a dark, rotten, sticky, and murky thing that was tinged with scarlet from the square box and stuffed it into his mouth.
Chi Yu: ...
Team members: ...
Viewers who watched the live stream: !!!
yue~~~
My eyes, my nose, help!
[I wasn't even there, but I could still smell a foul odor!]
[Run—run now—!]
[Move the camera away! Move the camera away right now! I can't take it anymore, I really can't...]
What is that thing?!
"Internal organs".
Shu Jiao narrowed her eyes slightly, "Parasitism."
"Parasite?"
Chi Yu chuckled for a while, then turned her head and asked, "Human-insect symbiosis?"
"Control it."
Shu Jiao deftly pulled the dagger from her leg and slid to the coffin.
A flash of cold light.
The skull hit the ground.
The mummified corpse remained frozen for five seconds. Then, a long, green, vine-like thing emerged from the smooth cut in its neck, swayed, and seemed to be sensing something.
Then, with a "whoosh," he picked up the head that had fallen to the ground and put it back.
They stared at the head, which moved from side to side a couple of times.
Everyone: ?!
ah--!!!
What is this?
What's this?!
Shu Jiao turned around, grabbed Chi Yu, and ran, "What are you waiting for? To become someone's fertilizer?"
As she spoke, she had already led Chi Yu to the front gate.
The next second, the team members immediately followed.
With its two legs moving back and forth, it ran incredibly fast.
When I went outside, I saw that everyone was fleeing.
No sooner had they stepped out the door than the mummified corpses, large and small, tumbled out of their coffins, making creaking noises as if they were just getting used to their bodies, and walked out of the door in a crooked and unsteady manner.
Two minutes later, they started chasing after people.
They bared their teeth and bit people on the neck as soon as they grabbed them, then casually unleashed a series of heart-ripping maneuvers.
Then they just abandoned the person.
Those who were bitten would stand up unsteadily after about seven or eight minutes, and chase after the person with empty eyes.
Infect.
parasitic.
Several words quickly came to mind.
and……
As people gradually converged on one road from various street corners, the sense of foreboding in everyone's hearts grew stronger.
"This is not good."
"They seem to be doing it on purpose, trying to drive us onto a road, or rather... to drive us somewhere."
"Could there be a central control system operating behind this?"
While fleeing for their lives, they could still spare some time to analyze the situation.
Only when the relentlessly pursuing mummies began to slow down, and even stopped, did they realize—
An even bigger problem is brewing.
Panting heavily, they took a closer look at the situation before them, and their hearts sank.
